: Hey--
:
: I wanted to see if AWARE would like to co-sponsor this upcoming event at
the
: IDF.  Please read the following message for more details!
:
: ----------------------------------------------------------------
: IDF Annual Fall Dinner
: Saturday, November 6th
: Wisegarver Lounge (IDF)
: NW corner of Springfield and Wright, Champaign
:
: "Veterans Fighting in the Workplace and in Iraq"
: Featuring keynote speaker Bill Davis
:
: Doors open at 5:30pm
:
: Tickets are $8-15 on a sliding scale
: Raffle tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5
: Tickets available in advance and at the door
: *All funds raised will go to support the work of the IDF and VVAW*
: -----------------------------------------------------------------
:
: The Illinois Disciples Foundation has been involved in anti-war movements
: ever since the Vietnam war.  We are continuing this work by voicing and
: organizing our opposition to the current invasion and occupation of Iraq
and
: Afghanistan. Although we are hearing more and more everyday about the
heavy
: burden in human lives and international respect that this war is exacting
: overseas,we still are hearing very little about the burdens this war is
: having here in the U.S.
:
: Bill Davis, president of Auto Mechanics union Local 701 and a national
: coordinator of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), will be speaking
: about the effects of this war in the workplace, and burdens that are being
: experienced by veterans both overseas and back here on the job.  In the
: days following the election, Davis hopes to share some ideas for how to
: move the issue of ending the war forward, regardless of who is sitting in
: the White House come next January.
:
: But in order to make this event a success we need your help and support!
By
: co-sponsoring this event we would include your organization's name in our
: publicity for the event and ask that you help publicize the event (by
: forwarding the email announcement etc.).  Such support is invaluable to
: us.  Although monetary support is not required for co-sponsorship it is
: always appreciated.  But more important to us is that you can lend your
: name in support of our event and that you encourage your membership to
: attend this event.
:
: If your organization would like to co-sponsor, please reply to me at
: tayabji at shout.net or call the IDF office at 352-8721.  Please reply to
: this request by next Tuesday, October 26th in order to make the deadline
: for being placed on our dinner publicity.  Feel free to contact us with
: any questions you may have.
:
: Thank you for your time and good luck in your organizing efforts!
:
: In solidarity,
: Jen Tayabji

: "And they can call me crazy if I fail / All the chance that I need / Is
: one-in-a-million / And they can call me brilliant / If I succeed / Gravity
: is nothing to me / Moving at the speed of sound / I'm just gonna get my
feet
: wet / Until I drown...
:
: Cuz I don't care if they eat me alive / I've got better things to do than
: survive / I've got a memory of your warm skin in my hand / And I've got a
: vision of blue sky and dry land"
